This is a 1940s 2-pocket denim coverall from STRONG RELIABLE, a wartime model. This coverall is from the 1940s, made by SEARS' private brand "STRONG RELIABLE." It's classified as a "wartime model" manufactured during the material controls of World War II, featuring four front buttons with the brand logo and simplified with only two pockets at the hem. Notably, this is the very item featured in the famous Lightning Archives 2017 publication, VINTAGE WORKWEAR, on page 224. Being a coverall featured in a well-known magazine, it's a prized piece that fuels the desire to own it. ~Excerpt~ DATE 1940s WWII-Era The rounded pocket shape suggests this is a World War II model of a coverall with the same design as DRUM MAOR. Of course, the stitching is double-stitched. The color and condition are as good as shown in the photos. Irregular models like the Levi's wartime model are expected to increase in value due to their rarity. Even wartime models of unknown brands fetch considerable prices, and it will be difficult to find a STRONG RELIABLE wartime model in good condition in the future. As featured in Lightning, this is an original 1940s wartime model. Length: 70cm Shoulder width: 47cm Width: 55cm Sleeve length: 57cm The size feels like a 38-40, or slightly less than a 42.
